4.2 Range of Application

The digital PRINTER 700/710 is a high quality ink jet printer . It prints correctly positioned addresses on various print objects, such as letter envelopes, cards, prospectuses and newspapers, with thicknesses of up to 6 mm.

Illustration 4-5: Print object PRINTER 700/710

With 13 resident fonts, a selection of various font-families is available. The printing width measures 180 mm for the PRINTER 700 & 235 mm for the

PRINTER 710.

Printing is carried out with a commercially available, replaceable ink cartridge.

Page 20

4.3 Operation

The PRINTER 700/710 is designed for operation on an IBM-compatible PC. Printing can be carried out from most word processing, database and address processing programs.

For the printing of variable data and layout design, we recommend the Mailing Studio. This program provides a comfortable working environment.

The printing unit of the PRINTER 700/710 is fitted with the HP ink cartridge. The print is carried out during the carriage movement of the print head.

The direction of the font is parallel to the head movemen t. Printing can be done so as to be readable from the user side or can be rotated by 180°.

The position of the print fields on the print object depends upon the position of the printing units and on that of the stack in the feeder.

The print object is - exactly positioned by the stacking tray - inserted above the printing unit. Printing is carried out when the print object passes under the printing unit.

The printer control procedure is very simple. For the first start-up, you will require about 30 minutes.

Page 34

5.4 Print job Setup

5.4.1 Setting Media Widths for the Machine

When the printhead smears the font, or with especially thick print objects (e.g. newspapers), the gap must be increased between the printhead and the print object.

5.4.1.1 Setting the Printing Unit to the Media width

You can set the printhead gap in two different ways.

For an unknown print object thickness

1. Turn the knob (1) to the “5” for the greatest distance (see

H Illustration 5.24).

MAX MIN

Illustration 5-23: Setting the printing unit height

2. Lay the print object (3) between the transport rollers (2).

3. Turn the knob (1) to the left, until the print object is difficult to pull out.

5.4.1.2 Setting the Media Width for the Sheet Separating System

1. Turn both knurled knobs (1), each about 1-half turn away from the stop in the middle position (see

HIllustration 5-25).

2. Unlock the knurled knob by turning counter-clockwise (2), lift it up and lock it again by turning clockwise in a lifted position (see arrows).

Illustration 5-25: Setting the paper fe ed

3. Place a piece of the medium to be processed (3) under the lifted separating fingers; two pieces, in the case of thin media. If the medium is so thin that it possibly will not be reached by two separating fingers, then under the free separating finger should also be placed a medium of the same thickness.

Non-compliance with these steps can lead to premature wear (grooves) of the separation roller.

Page 36

Illustration 5-26: Paper feed with lifted separating fingers

4. After unlocking the knurled knobs (2), allow the separating fingers to fall onto the print object. After locking the knurled knobs, the separating fingers have been set for height. For envelopes: Turn the knur led knobs (1) approximately ¼ of a turn clockwise.

Illustration 5-27: Paper feed with lifted separating fingers

5. When the print object is not fed in straight, fine adjustments can be carried out with the knurled knobs (1).

5.4.2 Setting the Print Format

Before placing the print object into the machine, you must decide how you want to position the text on the print object and how you can achieve this within the printing area allowed by the machine.

5.4.2.1 Layout Rotation

The printing direction depends upon the size of your print object and the left margin.

If the format is wider than that allowed by the printer and the desired left margin is not reachable for the ink cartridge, then the layout with the left margin must be rotated by 180°.

The layout can contain up to 60 lines with a simple character height.

5.4.2.2 Lef

t Margin

(Left Margin)

The left margin is the distance between the edge of the print object and the first printed character.

The factory setting for this distance is 0 mm. If you wish to set another value, you can select a value for the distance, between 0

& 160 for a Printer 700 and between 0 & 219 mm for a Printer 710, in the programming mode (see chapter

H 6) in the menu "Left Margin".

5.4.2.3 Top Margin (Top Margin)

The top margin is the distance between the upper edge of the medium and the first line of print.

The factory setting for this distance is 0 mm. When you select a certain paper size in the programming mode (see chapter

H 6) in

the menu "Paper Size", then the top-margin value for both layout orientations ("Nor" and "Rev") is the same.

If you wish to set another value, you can select a value for the distance, between 0 and 342 mm, in the programming mode (see chapter H 6) in the menu "Top Margin".

You can also change the distance line by line, using the arrow keys:

• Key Õ = Top Margin increase by a line

• Key Ö = Top Margin decrease by a line

To assure yourself of correctness, check the print position settings by carrying out a

test print.

5.4.2.4 Set the Sidelay Control

5.4.2.4.1 Side guides

1. Loosen the locating screws (4), set the side guides (1 and 2) to the width of your print object (3).

Page 39

Note

The print object must lie on top of the paper recognition.

2. For the setting of the side guides, use the paper sensor as a benchmark. The paper side edge should extend at least 5 mm over the paper sensor.

Illustration 5-30: Setting the directi onal control

If the installed side guide (2) is not sufficiently wide, then replace it with one of the two wider guides included in the delivery (see Illustration

4-1: PRINTER 700/710

overview).

1. Loosen the locating screw (4) and lift the side guide (2) out of the opening.

2. After the side guide has been set in position, move it to the desired width and fix it in position with the screw (4).

5.4.2.4.2 Adjust Outfeed Rollers

See HIllustration 4-4: PRINTER 700/710 safety cover

The outfeed rollers can be pushed sideways using the handles. Arrange the outfeed rollers in such a way, that the print object is caught by the

rollers, but that the print area is not in contact with the rollers (otherwise, smearing of the ink can occur).

Assure yourself of the print object setting by carrying out a paper run without

printing.

5.4.2.5 Setting the Paper Support Plate Horizontal alignment

1. With a wide, unstable print object surface, use the second guide bracket (5).

2. Loosen the locating screw (7) and set both guide brackets (5) approximately in the middle.

Page 40

Illustration 5-31: Horizontal direction of the bracket s

Vertical alignment

1. Lay the first print object (6) on the bracket between the separating finger (5) and the guide bar (8).

2. Push the guide bar (4) up to the upper edge of the print object.

3. Fan the print object in the way shown in the following illustration.

4. Incline the bracket.

5. The optimum inclination depends upon the print object length and width in the transport direction:

• Short print object = steep inclination

• Long print object = flat inclination

6. Tighten the screw (7) again.

Illustration 5-32: Vertical direction of the bracket

5.4.3 Checking the Paper Transport

Length measurement

Carry out the length measurement of the medium to be processed by pressing the

QUICK + ARROW RIGHT keys.

Check the displayed value as compared to the actual value. When there is a variance between the two values (more than 3 mm), an incorrectly set paper feed could be the cause. When the software transmits the wrong paper length value, the

Page 41

paper length measurement can be locally locked in the machine. Press the key longer for paper length measurement and confirm.

Transporting of a single medium

• Press the “pap” key. The medium found in the feeder is then fed in, trans- ported under the printing unit, and then ejected.

• When you press the “pap” key again, the paper transport is stopped. It can also be halted by pressing the “start” or “test” keys.

5.5 Test Print

Change from the Online mode to the Offline mode by using the Offline key.

1. Place as many media in the feeder as you would like to use for a test print, e.g. 1 medium.

2. Confirm with the Quick + Test key. The test print is carried out. Press the key again, in order to stop the procedure.

3. Using the test print, check the position , the orientation and the quality of the print on the medium.

In the event that there is too much pressure from the dosing rolls on the print object:

• Reduce the pressure from the separating fingers by turning the positioning axes clockwise.

5.6 Machine Counters

Three different Counters are installed in this machin e:

5.6.1 Day Counter

Each printout after the paper is ejected will be counted and the value is readable in the right upper area.

This counter includes the “Job” and the “Service” printouts. After powered off and on the machine, the counter is reset.

5.6.2 Service Counter

A test page count contains the number of Test prints with the accompanying paper ejection.

This count is carried out with the activation of the "TEST" key or several “Service” printouts, with the machine in the offline condition.

5.6.3 Counting of Job Pages

A job page count contains the number of data printouts received by the computer with the accompanying paper ejection.

This count is carried out with the machine in the online condition. When you continue data transmission with printouts, counting is resumed.

All counters are reset when the machine is switched off!

Page 42

To change the view of the 3 counters you have to be in the Offline mode. Select and confirm your selection with the arrow up or down button and then change it with arrow left or right button.

6 The Programming – Offline Mode

The machine is shipped with preset menu settings. When you would like to change the typeface or print quality, for example, you must

go into the programming mode.

6.1 Purpose of the Programming Mode

The programming mode serves the manual setting of certain parameters via the control panel.

In the chapter "Menu Overview" you will find a listing of the possible menu fields and corresponding options.

The parameters can be changed by software commands or with new settings in the programming mode.

Page 44

6.2 The Control Panel in the Programming – Offline Mode

Change to the programming mode:

1. Press the Offline key

2. The blue LED has to be on and the display shows OFFLINE.

6.3 Keyboard Layoutin the Programming Mode

Illustration 6-1: Keyboard layout for the programming mode

In Online mode, the printer only can be switched to offline mode by pressing the „Offline“ button.

Quick Button

The Quick button can only be used in Offline mode.

Function when singly applied:

By pressing the Quick button, the quick menu can be directly called up at any time; this serves for speedy operation.

By pressing the OK button the selected menu function is executed. By using the navigation buttons Arrow Up and Arrow Down, navigation

within the quick menu is possible. When first pressing the Quick button and then together with another button the

secondary function of that button is called up. (Like the Shift button on the PC).

• Quick – Home = ? (Help function)

• Quick – Arrow Up = Test print

Based on the current settings a test print is executed. If the combination function is called up from a menu item, then you return to this item after leaving th e test print. If the button is pressed briefly, a test print is carried out – similar to the pap button - and afterwards you return to the called-up display again. If you press the button for a longer time, a continuous test print is carried out. With Cancel you break up the continuous test print and return to the previous display again.

Page 45

• Quick – Arrow Down = Clean Heads A sheet is supplied and a line pattern is printed onto it, based on the currently ad-

justed paper length.

• Quick – Arrow Left = Run Paper (Supply Paper) If you press the button shortly, only one sheet is transported; afterwards you re-

turn to the previous display. If you press the button for a prolonged time, a continuous paper run is started. By pressing Cancel you break up the run, and you return to the previous display.

• Quick – Arrow Right = Paper Length (Measure paper length) Using this combination you may measure the paper length. Subsequently, the

measured length is displayed. If you hold this combination pressed for a longer time, the measured length is locked and therefore prevented from being overwritten by the software.

Print Mode Selection between three printing modes:

• Bi

directional: Prints from left to right, then from right to left (fastest

printing mode).

• Uni

directional: Only prints from left to right, except with hex dump and

HEAD test (slow, precise printing mode).

• Auto

matic: Bidirectional printing method with text and unidirectional

with graphics and TT fonts, which are printed in several head movements.

Page 52

Optimizing With SPEED, the printer is optimized for the throughput (fastest printing mode),

and with QUAL the printer is optimized for the precision of the print. Paper Eject Delay off 0.1 – 9.9 seconds The ejection of paper can be delayed at a selectable time (max. 9.9 sec.), so that

the freshly printed ink can dry. Paper Time Out When this function is active, paper transport is immediately stopped after the print

request has ended.

Layout

Orientation Layout rotation of 180°. In "Nor", the first line of a page is printed first. In "Rev", the last line of a page is printed first. In the “REV“ mode, the image storage capacity for a print is limited to 60 lines of

90 characters each.

When you select a certain format size, then the top-margin value for both the "Nor" and "Rev" directions is the same (Illustration

5-29: Layout orientation).

Left Margin Using this menu, you can set the distance between the printing area and the first

printed character in a range of 0-168 mm for the Printer 700 and in a range of 0219 mm for the Printer 710.

When the PREV/NEXT key is continually pressed down, the changes occur in cm increments; otherwise, in mm increments.

Top Margin Using this menu, you can set the distance between the top of the print object and

the first printed line, in a range of 0-342 mm. When the PREV/NEXT key is continually pressed down, the changes occur in cm in-

crements; otherwise, in mm increments.

Offs. Edge Moving the edge 0 – 227 mm With this, the measured paper edge is shifted. For the user, it would appear as if

the left margin would become enlarged. This menu item is n ecessary with:

• Window programs in which the left margin cannot (or should not) be changed,

• Printing of large envelopes with Windows Mail Merge, when the desired printing position cannot be set on the PC.

Example: Programs under Windows NT, for which there is no - PRINTER 700/710 driver

Font Parameter

Font 13 fonts or font sized have been built into the machine. A font selection can be

made here.

Page 54

Character Spacing You can change the character spacing by adding blank columns in dots from 0 to

90.

Character Set National character sets with their own special symbols for the corresponding foreign

language (see Ch.

8.3.2, Character Set, on p. 82).

Type of barcode

Select a barcode using this menu. The following barcodes are available:

ZIP-Barcode bpo4-Barcode 2/5 interleaved-Barcode coda-Barcode

co39-Barcode ean-Barcode kix-Barcode code128-Barcode

When you confirm the barcode "ZIP" with the ENTER key, the following parameter setting is offered:

" BARCODE OPTIONS: off "

Barcode options

(only for the USA !) You can select between the "off", "zip" or "dpbc" options. In the setting "ZIP" the 9 (or 5) numbers of the postal code are recognized from

the "Zip lines", and the corresponding barcode (with checksum) is printed out. In this case, the address line with the "D

" sequence is omitted (see Interface Description – Ch. 8 Zip-Barcode). The numbers for the postal code should be sent to the last line of the address. The

postal code may contain a maximum of 9 digits and a minimum of 5 digits. Since the search for the numerical sequence begins at the end of the address, the last 9 digits of a sequence are converted. It is permissible to add a hyphen between the fifth and sixth digits.

In the "DPBC" setting, the program searches the house number at the start of the street line and adds this to the zip-barcode.

The street line must be sent to the printer before the line with the postal code. The house number should stand at the beginning of the line. When the house number is made up of three digits, the last two are converted to barcode. In the case of house numbers with one digit, the number is prefixed with a 0.

Barcode Position

After selection confirmation in the menu field "BARCODE OPTIONS" appears: "BARCODE POSITION: top" The ZIP-Barcode position can be set with the options "top", "bot" or "conv". In this

way, the position of the ZIP-barcode within the address block is set. The following variations are possible:

• top: the barcode line is printed as the first address line.

• bottom: the barcode line is printed after the last address line.

Page 55

• conventional: the position of the barcode line is preset.

In the option "conv", the following settings are set:

• LEFT MARGIN: 94 mm

• TOP MARGIN: 51 mm

The barcode is indented 30 mm and printed in the eleventh line, meaning that the space between the first address line and the barcode amounts to 10 line feeds (at 6 lpi).

It is possible to change the value for LEFT MARGIN and TOP MARGIN, in order to adjust the address on the envelope to the desired position.

The correct positioning of the address is only guaranteed in the "Nor" setting

Other Barcodes

When you confirm the barcode "2/5i", "coda", "co39" or "c128" with the ENTER key, the following parameter setting is offered:

"SMALL WIDTH: 6" SMALL WIDTH You can set the width for the narrow line from 1 to 99 (Dots). LARGE WIDTH After the setting confirmation in the menu field "SMALL WIDTH" appears: "LARGE WIDTH: 15" You can set the width for the wide line from 1 to 99 (Dots) (c128 is the exception). BARCODE HEIGHT After the setting confirmation in the menu field "LARGE WIDTH" appears: "BARCODE HEIGHT: 50" You can set the height of the barcodes from 1 to 999 (Dots).

With one printhead movement, a maximum of 50 dots can be printed.

Other Barcodes When you confirm barcode "ean" with the ENTER key, only the parameter setting

"BARCODE HEIGHT" – as described above – is offered.

Paper Sensor

In order to process print objects with black areas, you can switch off the paper light barrier during printing. For this purpose, you must definitely set the format size under PAPER SIZE (an incorrect format size can lead to printing outside the paper area).

Page 56

With a switched off paper sensor and a preset format size, the light barrier only queries at paper infeed.

DOS Mode

Line Mode Line mode off / 1 - 99 lines This makes possible address separation, through a certain number of line breaks. When PREV/NEXT is continuously pressed down, changes occur in increments of

ten; otherwise, in increments of one.

Hex to ASCII HEX to ASCII conversion off/on When the conversion is switched on, then the printer interprets the percent sign

“%“ as an unprintable control character. Both characters following the % character will be interpreted as HEX values, and combined as one character.

Example: %0C = Form Feed

Auto LF Setting for the line end off / on_1 / on_2 / on_3 Using this menu, you can set how the PRINTER 700/710 should interpret the

CR = Carriage Return LF = Line Feed

and FF = Form Feed control characters. The following variations are possible: off : CR = CR, LF = LF, FF = FF on_1: CR = CR + LF LF = LF FF = FF on_2: CR = CR, LF = CR + LF FF = CR + FF on_3: CR = CR + LF LF = CR + LF FF = CR + FF

Setting

Selecting your own configurations. If you wish to operate the PRINTER 700/710 in various applications, then you will

possibly need to make some changes in the menu configuration. You can set up various configurations yourself, and save these in the menu item "Setting".

Among the 10 configurations "No 0" - "No 9", 9 are available for your own configurations.

The first configuration, the "No 0", is reserved for the factory setting. When this configuration is selected, pressing the "OK" and then t he "Online" key

disables immediately the programming mode, and no changes may be made to this configuration.

In order to be able to make changes to the configuration, select one of the remaining 9 configurations ("No 1" through "No 9"). When the programming modeis exited, the changes are automatically saved in the selected "Setting-No".

The setting that is created can be locked immediately, when using the OK key to activate “SETTING LOCKED“ setting, and with this same key you can select either “yes“ or “no“.

After the machine has been switched off, the set configurations will remain. In the menu item "Service", option "SetD", you can print out the active configura-

tion (see the "Service" description). After the factory initialization via the "Quick" key (when switching on the machine),

all configurations are set to the factory settings. You can also change Local Locking with locked setting. The following menu items can be individually locked:

FONT PRINT QUALITY LEFT MARGIN

When locking settings, incompatibility with software applications may occur.

Examples:

When you lock the left margin, the application program implements absolute horizontal positioning.

When you lock the orientation on REV, and the sequences for setting the position, CONV with automatic ZIP-search cannot be carried out.

Other conflicts are also possible.

Serial Interface

• Handshake Handshaking is a signal exchange between the computer and the printer. It is

necessary, in order to prevent overflow or loss of data in the printer buffer. The type of handshaking depends upon your computer system or terminal. The PRINTER 700/710 supports three methods for the transmission of serial

data.

• Software handshaking XON/XOFF (Transmission ON/Transmission OFF) This is used by most terminals.

• Hardware handshaking DTR (Data Terminal Ready) This is used by personal computers.

• Handshaking for both

• Baud rate

In order to be able to communicate with one another, the computer and the printer must transmit or receive data, as the case may be, at the same clock rate or baud rate. The PRINTER 700/710 can be set at 4 different rates (see previous table).

• Data length The computer and the printer must transmit and receive the same number of

data bits (pieces of information) per character. The IBM character and graphic set requires 8 bits.

• Parity Parity is an error detection technique that is used with the RS-232-C serial in-

terface during data transfer. Parity checks the parity (or the imparity) of binary ones in a byte. It can also be switched off.

• Stopbit The PRINTER 700/710 transmits two stop bits at the end of each character.

Page 61

• SetD The 10 settings of the printer, which are each activated under a correspond-

ing number in the menu item "Setting", are printed out. This requires 2 DINA4 sheets, which are fed in only after the “SetD“ com-

mand.
